hi, my axie had some health issues in the past but he’s been doing good, i just had to switch up his diet and stay more on top of checking parameters! i’ve been feeding him earthworms and he’s been great. i ran out, and for the past couple of days i’ve been using some frozen bloodworms. today, his poop is long and stringy, and he seems a little constipated. i’m guessing this could be from the change in his diet. ammonia is 0 ppm, nitrates are 5 ppm, nitrites are 0 ppm. can i do anything to help this besides going back to earthworm? it looks uncomfortable for him

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
